Mainsail requires a minimum configuration to function properly. It should give you a warning at startup if the required parts are not found in your configuration.
# Required configuration
## virtual_sdcard
This allows gcode file uploads.
```yaml
[virtual_sdcard]
path: ~/gcode_files
```
## display_status
This is required for messages in your status panel, if you don't have a `[display]` in your configuration.
```yaml
[display_status]
```
## pause / resume / cancel
This enables pause / resume in mainsail.
```yaml
[pause_resume]
```
# Macros
## for pause / resume / cancel functionality
These should be modified to your own needs.
{% raw %}
```yaml
[gcode_macro PAUSE]
rename_existing: BASE_PAUSE
gcode:
##### set defaults #####
{% set x = params.X|default(230) %} #edit to your park position
{% set y = params.Y|default(230) %} #edit to your park position
{% set z = params.Z|default(10)|float %} #edit to your park position
{% set e = params.E|default(1) %} #edit to your retract length
##### calculate save lift position #####
{% set max_z = printer.toolhead.axis_maximum.z|float %}
{% set act_z = printer.toolhead.position.z|float %}
{% set lift_z = z|abs %}
{% if act_z < (max_z - lift_z) %}

{% else %}
{% set z_safe = max_z - act_z %}

# Optional
## customize klipper default commands
for example, if you want to adjust the `BED_MESH_CALIBRATE` command, which you can run from "heightmap > calibrate".
{% raw %}
```yaml
[gcode_macro BED_MESH_CALIBRATE]
rename_existing: BASE_BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
gcode:
#before the original gcode
BED_MESH_CLEAR
QUAD_GANTRY_LEVEL
G1 X125 Y125 Z5 F6000
#the original gcode
BASE_BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
#after the original gcode
```
